SNEAK PEEKS FROM CHA

Of course I'm not actually AT CHA - but I've been collecting sneak peeks from the various blogs I visit and wanted to share a few items I'm very excited about. The first one is a gadget. I LOVE gadgets - they just seem to make things so much easier don't they.

Welcome the "i-Top" tool from IMAGINISCE. This handy little gadget makes covered button-brads in three different sizes from a variety of materials - e.g. paper, fabric, felt, lace, velour, velvet, etc. I'm sure it will be much more economical to make my own than buying the premades. I have a covered button maker from the sewing shop but this makes the buttons into brads - making placement a breeze! Lovin' it.

WooHoo! and look at these adorable storage units from DOODLEBUG DESIGN INC. There's a 9-drawer cabinet that you can customize with papers, fabric, etc., cute little scalloped shelves and coordinating white shadow boxes in two different sizes. I can see these things in my stamp room - of course a few things would have to go out before these things could come in!

The last item I want to share with you was voted the most innovative scrapbooking & paper arts product at the show. It is THE ULTIMATE TOOL by CRAFTER'S COMPANION. Make sure to click on the link to see what you can do with this little case of goodies. The all-in-one, compact carry-case allows you to score, measure, trim, embellish, create boxes, shaped cards, envelopes, bows and so much more. It includes a 24 full page instruction booklet and a 2 1/2 Hour Project & Instructional DVD which takes you step by step through 12 differenct projects and detailed instructions.

Don't forget Stampin'Up! is having a Deal of the Week promotion through the month of July. This week's deal is the HEART TO HEART punch for $10.99. That's almost a 30% savings. If you need this one - order fast. This promotion ends tomorrow - July 31st.

Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to take a peek at the manufacturer's websites. They each have some phenomenal products and information.

Until Next Time -

Happy Stamping!
